You Could Have an “On-Demand” Supplemental IT Resource As Well!
After doing contract work in the corporate world for many years, I have come to the conclusion that there is a serious need for supplemental technical resources that can be called on to fill the gaps, then sent happily on their way until needed again. For the last 4 years, I have been filling such a role at Starz Entertainment Group (you know…the movie channel). We both couldn’t be happier about the arrangement. They get what they need done - without taxing their full-time employees - and I get some piecemeal work from time to time. I love it!
Imagine…having a “goto guy” that you can always call to get specific jobs done, without the overhead, headaches and management required of traditional employees.
This is a long-term contractual relationship that helps the manager get things done when they need the help. When there is nothing to do for the contractor, he is probably working at another client as a supplemental resource…or at the beach.
Call me crazy, but I think there are plenty of small to mid-size companies out there that would love to have such a dynamic (”On Demand”) and low-maintenance IT technical resource at a reasonable price.
If you like this idea, give me a call!
